Summary of the DIT-Canning House Brazil Automative Roundtable

The seventh edition of the UK-Brazil Conversa, an event that brings together figures from UK and Brazilian politics, current affairs, academia, international relations, and the business community, to discuss the most pressing issues of the day in each country, as well as to find common ground and paths for further cooperation between the two countries, was held in June 2022 in Rio de Janeiro.

Last week saw the anniversary of the birth of Bernardo O’Higgins. A revolutionary leader, he led the forces to secure independence from Spain, establishing the new Republic of Chile, creating a working governmental organisation and establishing peace and order, based on the principles of freedom and democracy. Principles which resonate today and which are at the heart of what is happening now in Chile - writes Fiona Clouder.
